The Yemeni foreign minister says the United States aims to whitewash its complicity in war on his country by pretending to be concerned about achieving peace in Yemen.

Iran welcomes a recent call by the US to help end the Yemen conflict, saying it is “pleased” with Washington’s talk of the peace process in the war-torn country.

The Ansarullah leader says the US is deliberately prolonging the Yemen conflict in order to earn substantial profits from arms deals with countries engaged in the war.

Yemen calls on Saudi Arabia to take up the opportunity offered by the Ansarullah movement’s leader and work out a peace deal.

A senior Ansarullah official says unprecedented retaliatory strikes await Saudi Arabia and its allies if the war and siege continue.

Iran’s foreign minister, in a meeting with chief negotiator of Yemen’s National Salvation Government, emphasizes the need to lift the crippling blockade of the country.

A Yemeni health official says nearly 3,000 civilians, including African refugees, have lost their lives or sustained injuries as a result of Saudi strikes on border regions in Yemen’s northwestern province of Sa’ada.
